I understand the OC thing but what’s the deal with the DC? We don’t even have an offer out yet?

What is your issue with advanced stats over a general “scoring” stat?

Because the point of offense is to score points.

Scoring offense can sometimes get skewed when a team runs a lot of plays. App State doesn't. Their points per play is the exact same as their scoring offense (22nd).

Again, I want someone with a longer track record. We have the budget for it. But the fact is that this offense scored a bunch of points this year at the P5 and G5 level.

If it is Ponce that would actually be pretty hilarious in hindsight...

Considering all the OC’s who were available just a few weeks ago & according to who you believe, we essentially just turned down Kendal Briles...

The most entertaining part will be people suddenly transforming Ponce into the 2nd coming of Jeff Lebby lol

I would rather have Briles and a bunch of other guys over Ponce. Just to be clear. We have the money for a name brand.

Just think people are going overboard the other way and calling Ponce a scrub because he is a Miami guy. He runs a good offense that is very hard to defend.

I’m a huge advocate for Mario too…but even LCE, JayCane and SouthPark are getting slightly impatient with this…I think it’s a rational take, but this is America so what do i know

There’s got to be a point where he’s being thorough with this search. What blows my mind is it took until this week to offer the OC position to someone. No reason you couldn’t have made that offer before the New Year. But by waiting, for better or for worse, Briles is off the table. Who knows if he was a legitimate candidate or not, but if he was indecision has played a role in losing that option. There’s also one defensive coach on staff currently. Eventually these kids need to be sold something on the trail.

“Trust Mario”
 
Why the wait? Mario has been waiting for this thread to hit 1,000 before announcing Ponce. It all makes sense now

Sure, but your incessant rants directed at posters merely questioning the optics of the hiring process and the tediousness of it all fits entirely into my point; people can't voice concerns without condescending comments from people like you; but that's been your schtick recently.

To each his own; it's nothing personal. We disagree on how the process is being dragged out - and Mario doesn't care about you or I, or anyone else for that matter. I won't back down from my point, it's just an opinion.

Again, you are just full of it.

Optics? That's what you care about? How about the bad optics of hiring Dan Radakovich, when the entire process was a "****e show" according to sportswriters and mopers? What about the bad optics of hiring Mario Cristobal when we hadn't yet fired Many Diaz, and how Miami was just awful according to sportswriters and mopers?

I don't give a **** about optics, and those who are obsessing about it are being ridiculous. "Tediousness"? Then find something else to do with your life. Oh, sorry, our $8 million per year Head Coach should speed things up to relieve your tedium, right?

You have no idea of the definition of the word condescending. I am not acting like I have any more inside information than anyone else. I am not telling you "relax, babydoll, Mario has already hired his coordinators" and talking down to you because I have knowledge you don't have.

What I AM doing is pointing out the false storylines (Mario took forever to hire coordinators at Oregon, Kendal Briles rejected Miami twice, etc.) and the mindless and childish behavior of people who are insisting that a successful coach change his hiring process to address their insecurities.

That's not condescension. That is Vito Corleone telling Johnny Fontaine that he can act like a man.

Optics. Tediousness. Concerns. How about we judge the hiring when the staff is complete? It's really not too much to ask.

Sitting with a pile of money, the Best QB in the ACC with a full stable of badass RB/WR building a beast of an Oline. But Mario going on option #3? Something isn’t right.

Mario's shooting for a higher caliber coach like himself, which is great, but we have to remember that if Mario wasn't from here & an alum he would've never left Oregon for here. I'm happy with the names he's gone after, just got to close on someone now.

You really can't engage in an adult conversation without allowing emotion to seep all over the page...I'm wasting my breath.

This has nothing to do with national optics; I've made it quite clear in previous posts I don't care what the national media thinks; now I do care what respected posters on this board with valuable information think, and a few have "joined my side" or whatever you want to call it. But keep ranting away.
